bill mann 24th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Chuck Berry - Chuck Berry On Stage (1963)	Two different sleeves uploaded. These are supposedly 1963 issues. there are several more different sleeve designs for this album. Anyone throw some light on the subject ?

bill mann 17th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Elmore James - The Best Of Elmore James (1965)	Did Jimi always dress like that ?
bill mann 17th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Elmore James - The Best Of Elmore James (1965)	My mate, Ken bought this one. Back then, us Brits had no idea what he looked like, no photos, nothing except his great music. There was another LP on Sue, but still no photo.
bill mann 2nd Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Gene Vincent And His Blue Caps - Bluejean Bop! (1968)	Different (but similar) front sleeve to all other world wide issues !
bill mann 21st Jan 2015		Vinyl Album Hank Ballard And The Midnighters - 20 Hits: All Their Chart Hits (1953-1962) (1977)	One of the unsung heroes of rock 'n' roll !
bill mann 19th Jan 2015		Vinyl Album The Oscar Peterson Trio - Night Train (1963)	Here's another needs correcting :- Shouldn't title of B1 be 'Honeydripper' as noted on the label
bill mann 15th Jan 2015		Vinyl Album Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002)	I agree, met Johnny a few times in the 60s & 70s, when he was a still big fine chap, to see him in that video was very sad & upsetting to say the least, it almost had me in tears.
bill mann 14th Jan 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Wild Original Rock And Roll (1988)	Bourbon for me, Neil, 100 proof Wild Turkey whenever possible
bill mann 13th Jan 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Wild Original Rock And Roll (1988)	Just as an afterthought RC, Is it the top line on the front sleeve that made your spec-savers moment ? It certainly gave me one.
bill mann 12th Jan 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Wild Original Rock And Roll (1988)	It's all a matter of preference surely ! I like same artists on consecutive tracks. Am I right or are you right Neil ?
bill mann 22nd Dec 2014		Vinyl Album Bo Diddley - Have Guitar, Will Travel (1959)	Blimey ! I've had this LP for about 50 years and only just spotted that side 1 has only 5 tracks.
bill mann 18th Nov 2014		Vinyl Album Johnny Cash - Now, There Was A Song! (1960)	Bill, this is a great LP, so different from his norm. Loved it as soon as I heard it round a pal's place, and bought a copy as soon as I could.
bill mann 3rd Nov 2014		Vinyl Album Jerry Lee Lewis - Roots (1982)	Jerry performed 'Blue moon of Kentucky' at the 'Marimba' in Middlesbrough in October/November 1966' and introduced it as Elvis Presley's first record.
bill mann 3rd Oct 2014		Vinyl Album Little Richard - Little Richard Volume 2 (1958)	Black label copy with boxed logo on ebay at the moment.
bill mann 29th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Clyde McPhatter - Clyde McPhatter's Greatest Hits (1963)	Blimey, They never learn do they, barely any of the 50s rock n rollers ever improved on any of their original cuts. Only one springs to mind, Johnny Guitar Watson's 60s recut of 'Gangster of love, on King, which is far superior to his 50s cut. I have a cheapo rock n roll cd, bought for the car. All good well known songs, the Sun stuff is fine, but there are about 4 or 5 Little Richard recuts of his Specialty masterpieces which are unbelievably bad with saxes that should be heard behind Otis Redding or Arthur Conley and the like, not good, no solid Specialty style riffing anywhere to be heard.
bill mann 20th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Fats Domino - Rock And Rollin' With Fats Domino (1956)	Autographed by Fats in 1967.
bill mann 20th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Charlie Feathers - Good Rockin' Tonight (1974)	Bought this one about 1974/5, not got it now. Mine was a Brown/Beige front & back sleeve. Typical Feathers of the period, a bit hit & miss. Mostly miss !
bill mann 12th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Jack Scott - What Am I Living For (1960)	There's a copy on ebay now. Several in fact.
bill mann 12th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Jack Scott - What Am I Living For (1960)	OK, thanks Bill.
bill mann 11th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Jack Scott - What Am I Living For (1960)	This one looks suspiciously like a boot to me, particularly the back sleeve. Four tracks on side two appear to be from ABC Paramount.
bill mann 5th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Johnny Cash - With His Hot And Blue Guitar (1957)	I didn't realise there were colour differences in various issues, however I'm pleased to say mine has the light blue background.
bill mann 4th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Chuck Willis - I Remember Chuck Willis (1964)	No dates on my Canadian copy, distributed by Canadian London with Maroon Atlantic label.
bill mann 28th Jul 2014		Vinyl Album Chuck Willis - I Remember Chuck Willis (1964)	I have this one and also a Canadian radio station copy, I'll dig it out, check if there's any dates.
